University of Missouri Press, 2004

The Sizzler's Story
George Sisler, the subject of Rick Huhn's book, "The Sizzler," is yet another of the classic ballplayers of the early 20th century, admired during his career, acknowledged for his achievements during and after his career, slowly forgotten over the years and without a biography until recently. Huhn has stepped in to correct that oversight in Sisler's case, and it is a welcome addition to the ...

Alan L. Gansberg

The Scarecrow Press, Inc., 2004

"This was a man."
This book, except for the Epilogue, was written in 1983, ten years after Edward G. Robinson's death. The author, Alan Gansberg, therefore had the opportunity to interview a number of key friends and relatives to gain insight into the man, and we are richer for it. Emanuel Goldenberg, aka Edward G. Robinson, was defined by his strong Jewish upbringing and the words of his father, who taught his ...

Father Arseny, 1893-1973: Priest, Prisoner, Spiritual Father

Life-Changing Experience
A life so filled with the Love of the Lord Jesus Christ spreads the Glory of God wherever that life is told. The living word of God written in the heart of Father Arseny shows us Christ within this humble Orthodox priest. I cannot read more than three pages or so without weeping, both in joy and in profound sorrow that I fall far short of such a Christian. This is not only a book, but a ...

Carl Czerny

Schirmer, 1893

nice, but I like Burgmuller a little better
As the title indicates, these pieces are indeed progressive. The C major tonality wears somewhat tiresome in the first pages, but the last pages contain pieces written in difficult keys. Much of the work is written according to the usual cliches found in intermediate piano solos, but much of it is original and ingenious also. The harmony grows somewhat more pungent in the second half. I ...

McFarland & Company, 2002

Good Book
I read the book in my local library. Being an ex-student of Robert Beck, I wanted to see the final product of something he had been working hard on since before I knew him. I was completely impressed with amount of research put into the book, and the work putting into cross-referencing. Whether you want to look up a subject of a film, such as heart attack, or a film he was in, it is in this ...

Carlo Emilio Gadda and the Modern Macaronic (Crosscurrents (Gainesville, Fla.))

ALBERT J. SBRAGIA

University Press of Florida, 1996

An academic on Gadda
Written in the worst sort of "post-modern" gabble that now afflicts literature departments, the book will nevertheless provide some pointers to those who are able to rise above the apocalyptic language. English and Comparative Literature professors ought to be forced to write as much like Emerson as possible.

Anna's DeLeon McGrath's review
This is a sweet love story combined with some interesting history of early Manhattan, just prior to the Revolutionary War. The tale centers around the Van Heemskirks, a well-to-do Dutch family and their desire to see their youngest daughter, Katherine, marry what they consider an "acceptable" groom. However, she falls in love with Hyde, a young British officer. This is a big no-no for the ...
